THE IMPORTANCE OF PROTEIN
Posted by Manny Y on 6th Apr 2015
As they say, proteins are the building blocks of life. Your whole body is generally made up of protein. Every cell, muscle, bone, and organ is made, maintained and repaired by the use of proteins. So taking in this crucial organic compound is vital for life.
Generally, proteins are made up of a chain of amino acids, bound together by a peptide bond. Food sources rich in proteins are meat, milk, fish, eggs and soya beans. Tempeh, a traditional food from Indonesia has the best amount of proteins per cup compared to lentils and tofu.
When we are young we have to take in a lot of foods rich in protein to coupe up with our fast metabolism and growth. Children should have all the proteins they need, you can say that more is good while they’re still young. But when growth is in a plateau like when we’re in our middle ages, protein consumption should be in moderation since there’s not much growth going on in our body and the protein needed are just for maintenance sake.
When protein consumption is low, as seen in individuals who’re on low protein diet, the body conserves protein for more important bodily functions and ignores less essential ones like hair production. The hair follicles need a lot of proteins because this is what hair is primarily made of. That’s why we experience increased hair fall while on low protein or extreme diets.
Considering that a diet is a necessity, the most effective remedy for this is to introduce proteins in the form of amino acids directly to the scalp. Nisim Biofactors is a hair loss treatment that is made of amino acids, B-complex vitamins and hair stimulating extracts that promote hair growth and prevent hair fall even if you’re on a strict diet. You simply replace your ordinary shampoo with Nisim and you can control excessive hair loss within a week of regular use.
